<h3>A Look at Schlumberger P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.83 in the Energy Equipment &amp; Services industry, Schlumberger Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 11.43. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750773628_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

As global tensions in the Middle East highlight a volatility in the oil markets, an expert suggests the U.S. economy&#8217;s susceptibility to oil price shocks has significantly diminished compared to previous decades.
What Happened: According to Bob Elliott, the CIO of Unlimited Funds, the shift in the mechanical impact of rising oil prices is primarily due to the United States&#8217; transition into a net exporter of crude products.
Traditionally, oil price surges acted as a significant drag on household spending and often prompted central banks to adopt tighter monetary policies to combat inflation. However, Elliott&#8217;s detailed examination reveals a changed landscape.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The US economy is far less sensitive to an oil shock than in previous decades. While the ongoing Mideast conflict is a concern, it would take multiples of the the impact priced in so far to have meaningful economic impact. Thread.
&mdash; Bob Elliott (@BobEUnlimited) <a href="https://twitter.com/BobEUnlimited/status/1934558230123782446?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 16, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
While consumer gasoline prices might still see a moderate uptick following price increases, the overall impact on household consumption is far less profound. Spending on fuel has fallen to a mere 1.3% of total household consumption, making recent price movements &#8220;not noticeable&#8221; in the broader economic context, Eliott explains.
&#8220;The surge in US production to the point where the US is a net exporter highlights how an oil shock may not be nearly as detrimental as in past rounds. While it would create a drag on HH consumption and rising inflation, it will also support domestic production &amp; investment,&#8221; he said in an X thread.
Furthermore, the surge in domestic oil production means that higher prices now generate increased income for U.S. oil producers, offsetting some of the drag felt elsewhere. This domestic boost in income and the incentive for greater production efforts highlight a crucial difference in the economic equation.
Here&#8217;s a list of a few U.S. oil producers and oil ETFs.

Why It Matters: Despite escalating conflict, Iran has notably reduced its missile barrages on Israel, with the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) attributing this to the effectiveness of Israeli airstrikes.
Early waves on Friday and Saturday saw Iran launching 100-200 missiles per wave. However, subsequent attacks have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45944854/irans-missile-stockpile-may-be-shrinking-as-strikes-on-israel-taper-off-says-think-tank-lmt-rtx-gd-in-focus">dropped to 35-40 missiles each</a>, indicating a significant impact on Iran&#8217;s launch capacity. 
Initial estimates placed Iran&#8217;s missile stockpile at around 2,000, with an alleged plan to fire 1,000 ballistic missiles. Yet, Israeli strikes reportedly damaged or destroyed numerous launchers and silos, limiting Iran to just 200 launches. This suggests Iran may soon face difficulties sustaining its current missile attack rate.
Price Action: As of the publication of this article, Crude Oil WTI Futures were 1.32% lower at $70.47, and Brent Oil was down 1.24% to $73.31.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How High Could Oil Go? ING Analyst Sees $120 Risk Scenario</h2>
Warren Patterson, head of commodity strategy at ING, said Iran's role in the global oil market makes the situation highly sensitive. 
"Iran is a meaningful oil producer, pumping 3.3 million barrels per day and exporting around 1.7 million," he said in a research report Friday.
Patterson said disruptions could hit the Strait of Hormuz, a maritime chokepoint that handles nearly one-third of global seaborne crude shipments, in a scenario of continued escalation.
"It still leaves roughly 14 million barrels per day of oil supply at risk," he said, noting that a serious disruption could push prices to $120 per barrel.
He added that Brent crude could test its all-time high of nearly $150 per barrel if disruptions persist toward year-end.
"The renewed standoff between the two countries risks spiraling into a wider conflict," said Alejandro Cuadrado, a strategist at BBVA. He said the volatility spike in oil may spill over into other markets over the weekend.

Shares of energy stocks are trading higher amid a rise in oil prices.

The company recently reported that it has 68.41 million shares sold short, which is 5.07% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Schlumberger has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Schlumberger's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Schlumberger's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.16%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

Shares of energy stocks are trading higher amid a rise in the price of oil after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs. The commodity may be experiencing strength amid escalating conflict between Pakistan and India.

Energy stocks are holding up amid the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">trade chaos</a>, with the benchmark S&amp;P 500 Energy Index down -4.65% year to date but up 5.63% over the past month. Comparably, the S&amp;P 500 index stands at -3.70% year to date in what&#8217;s been a rough year for most stocks.
Still, energy stock valuations remain low, and the Trump administration has treated the oil and gas sectors favorably in its first 100 days &#8211; both of which are good news for sector stocks.
That&#8217;s not to say there aren&#8217;t worrisome issues for the energy sector.&nbsp;
The YChart energy index shows prices are down to 87.87 compared to 95.06 in April and 109.59 a year ago. OPEC and other major oil producers are expected to boost production again starting in June. In a recent research note, Goldman Sachs analyst Callum Bryce said its oil price forecast &#8220;remains to the downside,&#8221; citing recession risks and lower production capacity. While the tariff wars haven&#8217;t hurt the energy sector as severely as others, the costs of oil and gas production, refining, and transport are rising at a time when prices are lagging.
In its most recent<a href="https://boereport.com/2025/05/05/letter-to-stockholders-issued-by-diamondback-energy-inc-2/"> Letter to Stockholders</a>, outgoing Diamondback CEO Travis D. Stice said the oil industry is facing lower demand and higher supply, has lowered oil prices and increased volatility, &#8220;with massive industry changes on the horizon.&#8221;
&#8220;Over the past decade, the cost of supply for the average barrel of oil produced in the United States has increased. The shale revolution has evolved from proof of concept to manufacturing mode and is now in a more mature stage of development, providing (free cash flow generation and return of capital),&#8221; Stice stated. 
&#8220;Today, geologic headwinds outweigh the tailwinds provided by improvements in technology and operational efficiency,&#8221; he added. &#8220;On an inflation-adjusted basis, there have only been two quarters since 2004 where front-month oil prices have been as cheap as they are today (excluding 2020, which was impacted by the global pandemic). Therefore, we believe we are at a tipping point for U.S. oil production at current commodity prices.&#8221;
Still, there are promising signs. Energy stocks still trade at low valuations, and the Trump administration has treated the industry favorably.
&#8220;Energy is an industry that never sleeps,&#8221; said Adam Ferrari, CEO at Phoenix Energy. &#8220;Right now, the sector is in a state of strategic recalibration as a response to broader headwinds like inflation, trade imbalances, and geopolitical instability influencing cost structures.&#8221;
Additionally, political measures like President Trump&#8217;s executive orders surrounding energy security bolster fossil fuel development more broadly. &#8220;Still, companies need to include uncertainties in their plans for capital deployment and resource allocation in the future.&#8221;
Technology advancements are also working in the energy sector&#8217;s favor.
&#8220;The energy industry is undergoing significant changes due to multiple factors, including the rise of artificial intelligence and the massive building of infrastructure and the power requirements needed for data centers to operate which has the tech, and utilities sectors scrambling to meet the need,&#8221; said Chris Cook, Senior Equity Trader and Research Analyst at Frost Investment Advisors.
Those advancements should boost some energy suppliers more than others.
&#8220;These new opportunities are still in the beginning stages, and we expect more will develop as AI technology continues to evolve, making this a long-term investment theme over the next ten years or more,&#8221; Cook said. &#8220;Based on the advantages of access, availability, and reliability, we expect to see natural gas generation as an ideal fuel and power source to help close the demand gap, especially within Texas.&#8221;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Three Energy Stocks To Play In A Roiling Market</h1>
With enough moving parts to equip a Permian Basin oil rig, some high-value and high-dividend-paying energy stocks are worth looking at now. These three names could boost a dormant 2025 investment portfolio.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marathon Petroleum</h2>
Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) is on the move, with its share price up 22% over the past month alone. In its most recent quarterly report, the company announced revenues of $31.85 billion, well ahead of analyst expectations of $1.7 billion. Analysts are essentially backing MPC, with Scotiabank issuing a buy rating on MPC while Bank of America is keeping a hold on the stock. MPC also offers a healthy 2.67% dividend yield, with the company reporting it would hold a 0.91% quarterly dividend, which should satisfy income-minded shareholders.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Schlumberger Ltd.</h2>
Schlumberger Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>), a Houston-based energy technology company, has seen its shares fall by 10% year-to-date, but there&#8217;s a lot to like about the stock. Eight of nine analysts surveyed by Benzinga are either &#8220;bullish&#8221; or &#8220;somewhat bullish&#8221; on the stock, with a consensus target price of $50.4 per share. In a recent statement, SLB said it would boost shareholder returns to $4 billion in 2025. SLB stock currently clocks in with a robust 3.31% dividend yield.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kinder Morgan</h2>
Natural gas has been an energy industry stalwart, which is a big reason why the sector generated an 11.08% annualized return over three years and a 31.58% annualized return over the five years ending March 31, 2025, according to a recent<a href="https://www.usbank.com/investing/financial-perspectives/market-news/energy-sector-performance.html"> US Bank research note</a>.
&#8220;Rising natural gas prices are the biggest driver of energy sector performance,&#8221; says Rob Haworth, senior investment strategy director with U.S. Bank Asset Management Group. &#8220;Natural gas companies comprise about 30% of the sector&#8217;s S&amp;P 500 index. In early 2025, natural gas prices are significantly higher than they were at the end of 2024. &#8220;Demand for liquid natural gas (LNG), particularly from European markets, plays a role in price increases,&#8221; says Haworth, noting that European countries are replacing supplies produced in Russia before Russia invaded Ukraine.
Kinder Morgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>) fits the bill as a solid natural gas play. The energy company controls 40% of the natural gas transported in the U.S., and it stores and ships about 15% of all US natural gas. The stock is holding steady in 2025 and has returned 43% over the past year. Toss in a hefty 4.30% dividend, and KMI stands out as a stable force in an increasingly unstable energy economy.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Other Energy Plays To Consider</h1>
Market mavens are also looking at a handful of other energy stocks worth special attention.
&#8220;On the natural gas front, Cheniere Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>) remains a standout given its role in U.S. LNG exports and strong global demand,&#8221; said Fabio Ruggeri, founder &amp; CEO of MenthorQ, an AI-powered investment trading platform. &#8220;EOG Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EOG#NYSE">EOG</a>) is a top-tier shale operator with disciplined capital management, while Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PXD#NYSE">PXD</a>) offers solid Permian exposure and attractive shareholder return policies.&#8221;
Ruggeri likes the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) for a broader play. 
&#8220;The fund gives diversified exposure to large-cap energy names that could benefit from a cyclical rotation back into value and commodities,&#8221; he noted. &#8220;With geopolitical instability and policy tailwinds, fossil fuel stocks remain a tactical overweight for many macro investors.&#8221;
